This laptop exceeded my expectations, it is thin & light while not compromising performance with its i5 processor and 6 GB of RAM. I bought this laptop after CNET dubbed it their "most recommendable laptop of 2013" so far. The battery life is fantastic. The touch screen is very responsive and the battery life is fantastic compared to its peers. The only downside in my mind is the screen could be a higher resolution. I did not know what to expect switching to windows 8 from windows 7 after reading very mixed reviews. I personally think windows 8 is fantastic once you get the hang of it and it boots in 5 seconds! At under $800 dollars this a solid buy that I do not regret.

This is my 10th personal notebook and it is by far the best of them all! It is faster than other Toshiba with i7 processor, as this one comes with a 3rd Generation i5. Really fast. The fact of the solid state drive is a plus and a must for these type of devices from now on. Turns on in 5 seconds, battery life is amazing 6 hours of work, will connect to any local network with other computers running windows 7 or XP with no problem when a took it to the office. Light weight and excellent back-lit keyboard. Touchscreen is a plus when using some programs for faster screen changes. Win 8 might be an issue but you get used to it. Personally I downloaded Thinix RetroUI Pro Personal, a $4.95 license that gives me the best of both worlds (Win 7 and Win 8) and is an incredible enhancement that allows you to master Win 8 and use it when you want or simply move though a Win 7 like environment. Try it for free and you will buy the license. I also upgraded to 8 Gb Ram, not a big difference, but for $40 I opted to max out RAM. For a basic $777 cost I believe I got more than expected. No complaints from my side on screen resolution, I do not need a lot of graphics and when playing movies excellent outcome so far. Once again, battery life is superb, believe me. It is a pity I have been browsing and Toshiba is not offering this model anymore, it seems they now go up to 13 inches.. this one 14 inches, thin and light is my Nr 1 choice for the time being.

Side note, bought ultrabook mid April 2013 so 3 months of use when writing this lines. Also use a Kingston microSD 64 gb with a nano microSD adapter and leave it plugged into the ultrabook and acts as a secondary drive. Also have a portable 1T external disk with usb 3.0 that is really faster than regular usb 2.0 and take it with me when travelling out of town with all info needed and movies to watch.

Happy Amazon/Toshiba customer.

This laptop starts up instantly. No waiting around. The touchscreen is something I have to get used to but it's an interesting feature. The visuals and graphics are all very good. I was going to use this one mainly for my writing, but since my main laptop began having issues right after I bought this one, I've had to use this for everything. So far it works just as well and better. Super fast and light. This is a great purchase if you're looking for an ultrabook.

Honest reviews on Toshiba Satellite U845t-S4165 14-Inch TouchScreen Laptop (Sky

Many legacy Windows programs don't work well on this machine. The same programs work well on other Windows 8 machines, including a laptop and desktop. There are also unaccountable delays of 3-5 seconds when executing common functions. Tech support couldn't figure out what the problem was. The item was returned without incident for a full refund.
